A film adaptation of Half-Life could happen, according to Gabe Newell

Gabe Newell, CEO and co-founder of Valve, hastold PC Gamerthatif aHalf-Life movie were made, itwould have to be made by Valve itself. Oh, and Valve has considered it. Really! Here's Gabe on Valve's previous attempts at creating a Half-Life film adaptation:

“Where we got into this direction was after Half-Life 1 had shipped. There was a whole bunch of meetings with people from Hollywood. Directors down there wanted to make a Half-Life movie and stuff, so they’d bring in a writer or some talent agency would bring in writers, and they would pitch us on their story. And their stories were just so bad. I mean, brutally, the worst. Not understanding what made the game a good game, or what made the property an interesting thing for people to be a fan of."
